Answers:
It was recalled due to Mold in the tubs


LONDON: Britain's Dairy Crest Group Plc said Tuesday it is recalling two million tubs of Clover butter spread as the butter has been feared to be contaminated by mould following a production mistake.

The company said all the tubs of the butter spread with best-before dates up to 10 August 2007 are being recalled. The recall would cost the company around 1 million pounds, it said.

Apparently 17 people started feeling ill after eating it and the manufacturers found some tubs had mould in them. Accidently mixed in at the factory. Same mould as found in Stilton. Maybe it will be back on sale soon cos I love it too!

The cows wanted there milk back.

it was the same with hard core porn mags,
what is the world coming to.

What is clover butter? Is it something like butter (but actually hydrogenated vegetable oil) made of clover, or is it made of milk from cows which were fed clovers? Or is it a trademark?

UK dairy products group Dairy Crest recalled around 2m tubs of Clover butter after a fault in the production process allowed mould to grow in the containers.

I am sure its still around try a bigger shop

Blimey has it? That geezer who looked like he'd ( well I can't say it) just been "very pleased" in the advert is going to be well pissed off eh?

yeah it was on the news
it had traces of mould in it that made people sick!

I only heard about 1 batch being dodgy MONTHS ago. My local supermarket was still selling Clover 30 minutes ago.
